[QUOTE="klein, post: 830822, member: 23950"] You're not too far off, but, personally, I don't think Obamacare went far enough, and the public option was not included. Canada had the same reckless healthcare system as the US, prior to the 1960's. I was born under a company per profit insurance company and healthcare system right here, in Canada, myself. In the mid 60's it all changed, and Canada never looked back. No need to, we see the crap we left behind right next door in the US. The result was : Access to good medical care as a universal right is a value that unifies the geographically vast and ethnically heterogenous country that Canada is, allowing citizens to move or change jobs while retaining health care coverage. Canadians are justifiably proud of their medical insurance program and value it so highly that Tommy Douglas (the colorful Baptist minister, premier of the prairie province of Saskatchewan and father of Canada’s universal health Insurance program) was voted "the greatest Canadian of all time" in a 2004 CBC poll. DS, myself have both stated that we rather have our healthcare any given day, then that of the US. People can do online searches and find both pro and contra. However, with the recent healthcare debate in the US, and your huge population, even the internet has many more sites opposing Canada's great healthcare system. And you, bbsam, are totally right with your words : "The U.S. health system is dysfunctional and unsustainable" The fed can't afford medicare and subsidies anymore, and American corporations are struggeling with higher and higher insurance premiums giving them a major disadvantage of manufacturing at home.
